History
“White Fence Farm Owners Association” is the official name of the homeowners’ association as certified in 1993 by the Secretary of State of Ohio through its Articles of Incorporation as not for profit corporation.
Mr. Tom Peebles of Tom Peebles, Builder, Inc. was the initial developer of the association. In 1992, he filed a petition with the Board of Zoning Appeals of Sugarcreek Township. The petition sought approval to develop the subdivision as a residential planned unit initially referred to as Cherrytree. By the time construction was well-underway, the subdivision was formally renamed White Fence Farm (WFF) Owners Association.
The land upon which WFF resides was formally part of the old Weller Farm. The Weller family owned some 592 acres of farm land in Sugarcreek Township and Bellbrook. Part of the acquired Weller farm land was the “Old White Farm.” It is unclear if the name “White Fence Farm” relates at all with the “Old White Farm.”
In 1993, both the “Declarations to Provide for Common Areas of WFF” and the “White Fence Farm Protective Covenants and Restrictions” documents were formally filed with the Auditor of Greene County, Ohio. In 1996, Crossman Communities of Ohio, Inc. bought the remaining undeveloped parcels from Tom Peebles, Builder, Inc and subsequently completed construction of the lots. In 1998, Crossman Communities formally filed the Bylaws of White Fence Farm Owners Association with the Greene County Recorder. These documents are available for download. It is important for all HOA members to be familiar with the contents of these three public documents.
